It's a tradition around here to let Emily open one present on Christmas Eve, which always includes some new Christmas pajamas. Well, mommy messed up and gave her the wrong one to open, so she scored and got a Care Bear first. Oops! So then I had to let her open the right present with the jammies and the doll, so she was one happy little stinker! I'm just in love with the first picture since Stella (left) and Chewy (right) are tilting their head one direction, and she's playing along in the opposite direction. Cracks me up. I think they all deserve a bone!

More pics of Emily tonight with her new doll and Care Bear. And a couple of a typical snuggle session with me and my 3 kiddos. If one wants to cuddle, the others have to pile on as well. Silly monkeys!

Here's my sweet Emily. I've been trying to get a great picture to send with our Christmas cards, and I just haven't quite gotten the right one yet. But these are pretty cute I think, so one of them just might have to do. The ones in the purple were taken just yesterday. She really wanted 2 ponytails, which has only happened 3 times in her life. She usually won't let me mess with her hair at all. The other pic of her in the black and red dress was taken Friday after her school Christmas program. If you care to comment and let me know which one you think would be best with Christmas cards, I'd sure appreciate the input!!! Merry Christmas!!
